Converging Conversation!

Convergence can be very fruitful, even if we are going to be very careful, to avoid a conversion!

A blog is a conversation, and so also are the responses to it, whether in the form of replies, or its other variations...


Now, conversation, by itself, or when looked at in isolation, presents unique and distinct possibilities...
For instance this link presents about 56 variations.... ( http://www.thefreedictionary.com/conversation )
The entire text would be cumbersome to read here... but a few samples might make it tempting enough to lead a person to look-for-more of it!

Quote:
Conversation
  1. Conversation … was like trying to communicate with a ship sinking in mid-Atlantic when you’re on shore —William Mcllvanney
    47. Talking to him was like playing upon an exquisite violin. He answered to every touch and thrill of the bow —Oscar Wilde

  1. Talking to you is like sending out your laundry, you don’t know what the hell is coming back —Neil Simon

Unquote:


The word 'converse' also connotes exchange of ideas, while its other meaning indicates a complete 'reversal' , as its concept... (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/converse)


Conversion”.... involves a change, a shift (of some essential form or nature)....


Convergence is just about reaching a point where we 'meet' to agree or disagree even, with a sense of clarity!
It is this clarity, that goes to serve the purpose of a conversation, and keeps option all its options of future conversations!

So, if we are “aware' that our efforts are going to be to arrive at some kind of convergence (irrespective of whether such a convergence happens in one instance or not...!), each such effort does enhance our “ability to converge”..!!! Now please see, is not that convergence, in a very deep sense, in a directional-sense too, towards a 'spiritual-goal'?... We converge into our spirit, taking along, the things that help us, leaving aside the things that deter us, and therefore the very effort towards “a convergence” evolves itself into a wonderful tool! This can happen, at least at the mind-level, initially, and when the mind calms down a little, it can happen at our spirit-levels too!

Those who might feel fatigued a little-too-soon, seeming to be... 'reaching-nowhere'.. or even 'going-towards-nowhere' , might find this concept ........ about 'conversing, converse, conversion and then the elaborate possibilities through conversation, ...... worth looking into a bit deeper! Who knows, we might grow and evolve, in spite of others too!


Even conversely,
yours,
